Slavonija Bijelo vino Graševina 2023

An interesting dry white wine vinified by Feravino winery, 100% Graševina, also known as Welschriesling, it originally comes from vineyards located by the South of Hungarian border (that´s what the name stand for SoHu!) from the appellations Fericanci, Slavonia, Croatia.

Hand harvested and de-stemmed. All fermentation was done in stainless steels tanks at controlled
temperatures to preserve the aromas and freshness. The wine has compelling aromas of green crushed apples, mandarine peel and lemon zest that gives some vibrancy upon opening.

On the palate, stony fruits dominate from the entry, mineralilty is evident and has some tension and weight. It also has a texturized finish with an interlaced pleasant astringency, loved how acids remains persistent which makes a rounded, complex an attractive style. A wine to flex your taste buds. Cheers!
